I was at my local lumber store yesterday and at the checkout was a display of the balsa gliders. ONLY $7.95 LOL

After I eat beans the wife says I sound like a rubber band plane when your finger slips winding it up.

When you have a minor pain and it's no longer just transient but must be a sign of something MUCH more ominous.

Stopped in at a gas station today.
Cute girl, early 20's getting gas as I'm inside to pay for some things. She caught my attention because she's wearing a red Santa hat (thinking to myself what month is it? LMAO). I'm looking at her and she's taking selfies of herself pumping gas doing hand signs of some sort and I'm like wtf? Selfies pumping gas?
Then, I hand 3 dollars to the girl at the counter after she tells me my total is $2.54 and right as I lay my money on the counter, she turns around and starts talking to a co worker. She talks to this other girl for about two minutes with her back to me when I'm standing there with my money out and I've got 3 people in line behind me.
She finally turns around, and I slide the money that's been laying on the counter towards her and she asks if that's what I want to pay. Tell her yes, and she tells me she's not sure because I slid the money towards her and did not hand it to her.
I see young adults today and I know I'm getting old.
Kind of grateful I won't see another 50 years if I'm lucky.

You have to go pretty bad and you end up sneezing accidentally, then you have to change your skivvies.
Wife got a BIG laugh out of that one the other day...

Obviously you do your own laundry.

It was a false alarm, but it DID make me look LOL. And no, at least at age 60, haven't had to change skivvies, but be lying if I said I didn't have a close call once or twice LOLObviously you do your own laundry.
Does seem like as you get older, sometimes
sneaks up on you out of the blue... I know that first hand with my father living with us. Kind of ironic on how as we age, we turn into the baby's we were so long ago. Last year of dads life when he was 90, I'd help him bathe at times and ALWAYS tucked him in bed every night and gave him a kiss good night like he and mom always did with me.

The ones we had didn't have a plastic clip for attaching the wing to the body. Instead, it has a curved slit thru the body, and you'd slide the wing thru it. It was actually a nice design, because it gave the wing a shape that seemed to improve lift.
They seem to run $3/ea now, when bought in packs of 5 or 6 planes. I couldn't find the ones we had recently, with the curved wing slot, but they were very similar to these.
